Why This Must Be Read: This is one of those stories that feels so real you can practically taste the hopelessness in the back of your throat. Rheanna27's language is that evocative and the premise and characters that well thought-through, right down to the neurosis each develops as a result of their circumstances. The apocalypse here wasn't anything violent -- there are no zombies or atomic bombs or giant storms to give people something to fight -- which gives the story a very eerie feeling.

Author's summary: A year after the end of the world, John meets another survivor.

Why This Must Be Read: The snark, the humor and the boys. Oh, and Scrabble played with intent. The art she created for it is a bonus. This story has the (dubious?) distinction of being the first story I ever podficced! I just couldn't resist the snark and word play.

Why This Must Be Read: Think Team. On a road trip from Denver to Washington D.C.. Why a road trip? Because they couldn't fly due to an issue with Ronon and knives. The humor is a little different and I mean that as a high compliment. While rereading this story and looking for snippets of fic to post, I kept giggling. If you love the team (with a little side of John/Rodney) and enjoy humor and/or road trip fics, give this one a try. It makes me laugh every time I read it.
